If the file is binary, then you can use #nextWordsPutAll:. Here's an 
example:

FileStream newFileNamed: 'BinaryFloatTest.txt' do: [ :file |
 	file binary.
 	file nextWordsPutAll: 1.2345 ].

It will store the words in big-endian format.
If the file is not binary, then you can use #printOn: or #storeOn::

FileStream newFileNamed: 'FloatTest.txt' do: [ :file |
 	1.2345 printOn: file ].
